γ2 Octantis, Latinized to Gamma2 Octantis (Gamma2 Oct), is a solitary[12] star in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.72,[2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 320 light years[1] and is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 27 km/s.[6]

Gamma2 Oct has a stellar classification of K0 III,[4] indicating that it is a red giant. At present it has 115% the mass of the Sun but has expanded to 10.54 times its girth.[8] It shines at 52.6 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,788 K,[8] giving it a yellow-orange glow. Gamma2 Oct has a metallicity around 91% that of the Sun[8] and spins with a projected rotational velocity of about 3 km/s.[9]
